Dolphins and whales are very intelligent, they just don't have arms and hands to make tools with. Maybe we can teach them linux and give them access to industrial robotics, then they can exterminate us humans and save the planet.
Wouldn't it be better if we could get them to teach us how to spend our days swimming, eating fish and having sex?
#2252 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-08 16:30:16
The aptitude message about dbus-user-session breaking policykit-1 just means that the packages are incomatible with each other. Not that anything is broken. A broken package would be marked with a B in the first column of the 'dpkg -l' output.
The only idea I can come up with at this point is that the dist-upgrade wasn't complete. On some of the upgrades I did, I had to run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' a second time to get everything. A few other people have reported the same.

If it's a bug, it must be reproducible. Please say more about how and what you installed and how you upgraded so someone can repeat it and get the same result.
How is policykit-1 broken? Not because it says that dbus-user-session breaks policykit-1. There is no dbus-user-session in devuan. Installing dbus-x11 should have corrected the situation.
#2255 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-06 13:36:12
I can't reproduce your error. I can install xfce4-terminal and thunar in my ascii with openbox. I tried it on a live-iso I made two weeks ago and also on an upgraded install of the same iso. In both cases, I used your sources.list.
Do you have any packages or repos pinned? Did you change anything in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d or preferences.d?
Try it with aptitude and see what alternate solutions it offers. That might provide an explanation of why those things won't install.
#2256 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-05 21:23:54
Makh,
It should have worked. I've installed openbox in ascii several times recently, from upgraded minimal jessie installs and from debootstrap installs of ascii. And I've run it with and without a display manager. What repository did you use for ascii - was it auto.mirror.devuan.org or pkgmaster.devuan.org?
#2257 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] startx fails since upgrade to 4.9 kernel » 2018-01-04 13:48:15
Oh, good catch, rrq. No, I did not mean to get the package from ascii. I gave the solution to the wrong problem. The legacy issue is related to the newer version of xorg, not the newer kernel. Sorry about that, Steve.
jessie... xorg...
First thing I would try is adding 'nomodeset' to the boot command. At the grub boot menu, press 'e' to edit the boot entry, scroll down to the linux line and add nomodeset to the end of that line. Then ctrl-x to boot.
If that doesn't work, it might be a firmware issue.
What is the output of lspci? (so we can see what hardware you have)
For future reference, you're better off using debian documentation than ubuntu. Here' s a wiki page for your wireless. The package you need is firmware-iwlwifi, and you should get it from jessie-backports.

You can do one of two things to fix this.
1. Install a display manager.

2. Install xserver-xorg-legacy and add the following line to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

How to get a clean ascii install. (maybe even clean enough for greenjeans)
Boot a Refracta iso. (if it's a jessie iso, run 'apt-get update && apt-get install devuan-keyring' to get the new keyring.)
Or, install debootstrap in your existing jessie if you want to install ascii to another partition.
Create partition
Format partition
mount <your new partition> /mnt
debootstrap --arch amd64 --exclude systemd-sysv,alsa-base ascii /mnt http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mergedI'm not sure if the excludes are necessary anymore. There is no alsa-base package in ascii/stretch, so if something still depends on it, and it's not excluded, debootstrap fails.
Copy files to the new system:
cp /boot/grub/splash.png /mnt/boot/grub/
cp /whatever/you/want /mnt/wherever/you/want/itChroot into the new system to make additions and changes.
You can use the shortcut method or run all the commands manually.
----------
Shortcut:
bind-mounts /mnt(answer yes to enter the chroot)
Install kernel and other packages
Edit configs
Create root password
Create user
Install grub or other bootloader
grub-install [/dev/sdX if bios boot]
update-grub
exit
unbind-mounts /mnt---------
Manual method:
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts
chroot /mntInstall stuff, edit configs, *create root password*, create user
grub-install
update-grub
exit
umount -l /mnt/dev/pts
umount -l /mnt/dev/
umount -l /mnt/sys
umount -l /mnt/proc
umount -l /mntReboot into your new system.
#2261 Re: Off-topic » [Solved] Bash: Behavior of `test -x` » 2018-01-02 14:48:03
Well, without the quotes it tells me that gedit is found/executable, but gedit is not installed here. I'l take a guess and say that -x is testing the executability of the command substitution. When you quote it, you're telling the shell to expand what's inside the quotes, so -x tests the result of that.
For more complication, try it with double-brackets for test:
if [[ -x $(type -p gedit) ]]; then echo "found executable"; else echo "command not found/not an executable"; fi
command not found/not an executable#2262 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Refracta Isos » 2017-12-30 21:36:46
I don't know the answers to most of your questions. I do know that there are some packages in ceres that are behind versions in ascii and even jessie.
Experimental should not interfere - you must use '-t experimental' to get anything from there. I'm not sure what ascii-proposed will do, but I think it works like experimental, and I know it contains some new versions of packages that need to be tested before they move into the main repo.
With ceres, it's possible to try to install something at the wrong time, and deps are not available. That is usually cured by waiting a little while and doing another update. The package manager generally does a good job of warning you before letting you do something bad, and the warnings get noticeably longer in proportion to the damage you could do. (to the point of making you type a couple lines of text just to say "yes".)
Oh yeah, almost forgot this. Get the newer installer. More info on the first post of this thread.

#2265 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » LXDE user upgrades to Devuan Jessie » 2017-12-28 02:45:02
Hi,
although for me it is safe to have libsystemd0 (but not systemd init), I did not understand how you can avoid installing it. It is a dependency of xserver-xorg-core, and unless you are running a server, any desktop environment or window manager will have xserver-xorg-core package.
Easy. Install jessie. That dependency doesn't come up until ascii.
#2266 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Refracta Isos » 2017-12-28 02:41:41
No, that does not look right. Some of the versions mention on needed packages could be satisfied by jessie versions, some by ascii versions. I don't know what's going on with your system, but I will point out that as time goes on, ascii/stretch and ceres/sid will grow farther apart. You're really mixing stable with unstable, not testing and stable.

If task-mate-desktop is installed, it will probably keep you from losing all the stuff that comes with the task metapackage. Use the -s/--simulate option with apt-get to see ahead of time what it wants to remove. Note that apt-get will only mark packages for autoremoval, but it won't remove them. If you install any of those packages, they will be marked as manually installed, and they will be removed from the autoremove list. On the other hand, aptitude will autoremove them when it removes the task package.

I have tried to upgrade to ASCII and PLENTIES of my detailed desktop features are hence lost, esp I should mostly need suspension, which I wanna take a rest for my machine but dnt wanna reboot, so I will remian Jessie and will try OpenRC in my Jessie system.
Any problems with ascii that we don't know about will not get fixed. Any problems caused by misconfiguration on your end won't get fixed until you seek help.
BTW, suspend works fine here. What destkop are you using?

If I typed <ctl><alt><f1> it switches to tty1 with the login prompt, but after a few seconds a couple of system messages flash up, making it difficult to log in. Typing <ctl><alt><f1> again would get me to the login prompt, but it proved too hard for me to actually log in.
If you haven't typed anything yet, presssing ENTER will give you another login prompt. Then, do not look at the screen while you are typing. Just log in normally. (give it a couple seconds to prompt you for the password.)
Alternatively, you could turn off those messages by editing /etc/sysctl.conf:
# Uncomment the following to stop low-level messages on console
#kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3Board footer
